Well I don't know TC...
Maybe the whole shooting would have been harder with fighters with a larger wing foilage... especially for spin, yaw, roll scenes...
Perhaps it was cheaper to put the Neutron (chain)gun in the center of the ship than put two different guns on the wings...
You see, to me the whole thing was just a lack of money problem...

Yeah, well... you're kind of very wrong.
What reasoning are you using to come up with this idea that it had to have been a budget issue? Do you have any reason to believe this? It's clear through all the things we've heard from Roberts and DA that he made things look the way he wanted them to look, not because of any other reasons.

Exactly! Thanx for reminding me that Dragon!! Look at the furless furballs!! They're ugly!!
Hey some of you might say that the Kilrathis from the games aren't necessarily pretty either, but what the hell are we supposed to do with the combat taunts "furball" and "cat"??
'Cause I mean, in the movie, the Kilrathi look more like bad-tempered Siamese kitties than bloodthirsty alien cats...

But me thinks it might affect the cost of the full-sized mockups they made, no?
Hi,
Part of the reason the rapiers looked like they did in the movie is because they went looking for full sized cockpits first.
I heard that they managed to get six British Lightning cockpits on the cheap, and that the shape of the cockpit influenced the shape of the CGI model

Partially correct -- the original sketches for the Rapier look *sort* of like the final -- but the existing cockpit of the Lightning made them change the look (particularly of the canopy) a bit.

Hmmm, WWII in space and all that, right?
And about those 'contradictions'... it's all very well and good if you've got all the background info and all that, but to a WC gamer who sees the movie (like myself) wouldn't know about all the little behind-the-scenes explanations unless they can find the novels, or they come here to the CZ or both.
